Topic: NEW Cal Fab swingarms for the 750

[SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan]

I think I just got lucky with the exchange rate -- as with my Hindle exhaust.  Once the Canadian dollar rebounds, the lower-price parts party is over.

Motogpwerks are making new Calfab swingarms in a different style, I'll post pics as I get them, new pipes on the  way as well, maybe some exotic ones as well  ..

Saw this, hoping he does 750F, with mounts for the rear disc setup.

He just said on facebook there isnt a demand for the F models

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

One issue he faces pertaining to the demand is the 2 different F models with different width swing arms.

Wonder how many he will make in this batch to make it worth his time?

I was responding to Jerry about the swingarms that are currently being made. I talk to Chris almost every week. You can use a K model arm on the F1-F2, ditch the stock, huge, ugly rear brake caliper and mount and run a more modern one and under sling it like newer bikes, the K arm needs no modification to do this... Or, talk to Chris on the phone and ask him if he can weld the caliper stay on the top of the K arm so the stock disc brake parts can be used..?

Jerry,
Sorry I just can't do the 'F' model numerous reasons ,1st I don't own one and the 2ND there isn't a demand for 20-30 swingarms a year  also every swingarm (this time ) is getting a big billet jig (and another for heat treating ) and I've already spent $14.5k on jigs in the past 4 weeks (9x swingarm types).Currently building 108 swingarms.
I will be offering a braced version also,the price will be on par with any Japanese non heat treated swingarm or UK firms.
I have the only 2 stage heat treated & aged swingarms anywhere ,the reason is it takes twice as long to build a swingarm is it  needs to be  sent away three times to three different company's that  provide a service on the swingarm.Everytime it comes back it needs to be straighten. .Every swingarm I get back comes with a cert from the aerospace heat treat-er  in case someone asks.
These swingarms can't be welded on afterwards ,this is due to the swingarm changing properties.Hence making it weak and not whole.

If you have never brought a swingarm most lead times are 4-6 weeks and most go for $800-1400us ,so i will have them in stock unless they sell quickly .

Note what he said about welding to them after completion..been tellng you guys that for years..

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

Understand Chris. Thanks for the reply. Just glad you're still indulging us after the last fiasco here   Sounds like we need to get you a F model 

There you go guys. This is the REAL #$%*!! Read it for yourself. Support those that support us. Buy a swing arm from Chris!!

Thanks Mick.

Frank, I've had aluminum arms modified and have another {GS1100} ready for modding as well, My guy in Aus can get them heat treated too if that's what you want, { his welds are gorgeous}, so its no problem for me, just do it right...

Chris, thanks for stopping by, can't wait to see the new ones, especially the braced version..

[Camrector]

Chris did you have a timeframe in mind for when these will be available?
Thx!

I'd say, "when they are ready", he's a one man operation and does a #$%* load more than just make swingarms and pipes, every time Chris gives an estimate as to when a product will be finished, everyone b1tches and carries on like children when the day or week comes and goes. The last couple of times I spoke to Chris {last week}, he was still at work at 10pm at night,  They'll be ready when they're ready....

If you are seriously interested, you should call and place a deposit [if he'll accept it]

[Motogpwerks]

When it comes to time frame ,the first batch off triumphs will be done by april 23rd ...honda ones later may as they don't sell that well .I have new exhausts and new brake vintage race calipers later april as well that Ive been testing for 12mths...Camrector I do have one cb750 swingarm left ,I was keeping it for raining day but if you really need it you could have it for my cost $550 if that helps you out.

[Camrector]

Wow chris thankyou so much for the offer.
I have 2 builds to finish before I start back on my 750, so save it for someone who is really in need.

Thanks
